GULLIBILITY.

The wild phantoms and shrieklng cries
of worthless humbug can make money
by imposing upon the icredulity and ig>
noraDce of an honest public, and the sup>
ply of this species of work seems more
than an adequate demaud. The enun~
citation of faCts-faCts that have stood
crucial tests-facts proven by brain force
and tangible evidence, should satisfy all
laudable enterprises; but the execrable
practice of teaching false ideas and doc
trines for self-aggrandizement is truly
reprehensible and should be scorned by
all classes.
When one house tells you that Iodine
of Potash is poison simply because their
opponents use it, and because they are
pandering to your ignorance, as they sup
pose, you should look upon all such ar
rant frauds and their remedies as un-
worthy public confidence, and if those
who make such assertions do not know
better, they are set OF unenvlable ig-

A Great Victory
A Terrible Case Of Scrofuia
Cured by
Hoods SarsapariIla

In the winter of 1879 l was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms.
At one time had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years Of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, l was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation of W. j.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly sears, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less 1 do not know what it may

The Berry and Doretta.

These two claims are just northeast
of the Hunter, Kennedy and James
group, nearly on top of the ridge, oppo-
site and above the lakes. James Berry
and James L. Burns located this ground
over two years ago, and since then
they have had associated with them P.
F. Brennan, Barney Riley and Dr. lie
Compile. Assessment and development
work have been going on. Now the
work is confined to sinking a shaft. 1t
is down forty odd feet and will be sunk
much farther yet, since now the hang
ing wall Is being penetrated. Some
very fair looking vein matter, carrying
manganese and silver, has already been
encountered, and considering also that
this property is on the backbone of the
great mineral bearing zone much may
be expected in its wealth-producing
qualities by the lucky owners in the not
far distant future.-RScOrd.

AN IMPORTANT INDUSTRY.
The Success Attained in the Manu-
facture of Iron Ore Paint.

On Wednesday, in company with Su-
peritendent A. A. Noon, of the Utah
Valley Iron Mining and Manufacturing
Company, we paid visit to the build
ings of the Provo Foundry and Machine
Company, where the celebrated Utah
mineral fre-proof iron ore paint is man
ufactured.
This paint is made from the oxidize d
iron ore taken from the company iron
mines at Tintic. 1t is shipped in its raw
state to the mandatory, situated at the
Provo Foundry. Here 1t is put under
process of grinding, floating, washing,
and settling. From the settlers it is
placed in q large oven, or furnace, where
it is dried, from whence it is removed
and reground. 1t is then ready to be
barreled and placed in the market.
The paint now made is superior artl-
Gle of metallic paint, being equal, if not
better than the imported metallic paints,
which contain so much clay and other
adulterations, and is sold by Mr.. Noon
at rate much cheaper than that i'm
ported, two facts that of themselves re-
commend the home article in preference
to Eastern manufacture.
The success in this branch of home
industry speaks well for the enterprise
OF the Utah Valley l. NJ. Co. Although
commencing with very limited facilities,
its first operations were in every way
success, and the demand now made on
the company from all parts of the
Territory and elsewhere speaks more
than we could say as to its perman-
ency.
What we would like to see now is, for
the people to encourage that company by
helping them establish furnaces for the
manufacture of iron, which industry
eau be made just as successful as the
manufacture of the iron ore paint.
The fine large brick furnace used for
drying the paint, and just completed,
received its first baking on Wednesday,
and proved itself huge success.
The company, with the present linn
tied facilities, can manufacture from
800 to 400 tons per annum, but cannot
supply the increasing demands made
upon them.
superintendent Noon returned home
on Sunday from the company's mines
at Tintic, where he has been several
weeks attending to the business there.
He reports everything moving along in
a prosperous manner.-Enquirer.

EMERSON ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE
He Thought That True Woman
Would Decline 1t if Offered.

The attitude of Emerson toward
woman suffrage is Interestingly de-
Yeloped in the biography of him just
published. He treats the subject in the
spirit of a philosopher and a sage, and
what he says will find response in the
minds of many who view it in a prac-
teal light. He tried to reason himself
into the support of woman in the new
sphere to which agitation would intro
duce her, but his ripe instincts found it
inconsistent with her character, and
repulslve to his respect for the sex.
Hence he said, writing to friend as
early as 1850:
The fact of the political and civil
wrongs of women l deny not. If
women feel Wronged, then they are
wronged. But the mode of obtaining
redress. namely, public convention
called by women. is not very agreeable
to me, and the things to be sgitated
for do not seem to me the best Per-
haps I am superstitious and traditional;
but while shall vote for every fran
chise for women if women asked
or if men denied it, should not wish
women to wish political functions, nor
If granted, assume them. 1 imagine
that a woman whom all men would
feel to / e the best, would decline such
privileges if offered, and feel them to
be rather obstacles to her legitimate in
huence."

GALL.
A Proposition to Boom Utah and
Make Money.

Mr.. Forhan, of the Chamber of Com
MERGE bureau of correspondence, re-
ceiVed proposition from an indlYid-
ual, who represents himself to be the
editor and manager of an obscure paper
at st. Louis, an alleged advocate OF in
dustry, law and liberty, to boom Utah.
Part of the proposition IS that he offers
to visit Salt Lake, the mines, farms and
surrounding country, return to the
Missouri metropolis, write up matter
enough to Eli torJy-eight or slXty-four
pages OF his sheet, issue an extra edl-
ton of 100. 900 copies (if the Chamber
here say so). circulate them among the
knights OF Labor and Patrons of Hus
oandry, and make the modest charge
of $1,000. The work might be enlarged
upon, he adds, by cuts, views and de-
scriptive labor, to the extent of $4,000,
and make lone of the grandest bonn
papers ever gotten out" The enter
prlslng man mOdestly intimates that
such being prepared here, would have
ten times the influence did 1t 'eminate'
from your 'midtst,'" and that he will
take hold of it if given encouragement.
AS a postscript, the journalist con-
cludes: "a $4,000 work, such as l
contemplate, would be worth to your
whole country more than fifty times
what know your country have paid
single papers for page or two. Ours
would be an enormous advertisement,
sent to the very spot where you
want it,"
The unblushing gall OF the boom
boomer Is evident from the fact that
both he and his sheet are so conspicu-
Gus for reputation that no one here
about appears to have eyer heard of
them. And, besides, he must have an
unlimited estimation of his capacities in
the direction he proposes to embark, if
he thinks for moment that his are
superior to those possessed by residents
and interested parties right in our
"mldtst." The talent, experience and
means are here in plentiful supply and
are being used where they will do the
most good; therefore, the proposition
to squander SIC, 000-or even the half of
that sum-will undoubtedly be refused
with thanks. The pamphlet at present
under consideration by the Chamber
will, we are satisfied, contain informa-
tion-statistics and facts-which will
furnish parties desiring to obtain it
knowledge of Utah's attractions, re-
sources and possibilities which will
serve the purpose of booming for the
present, and will not cost near the
figure submitted by the philanthropic
journalist of st. Louis. What he knows
about what the country has paid for
advertising" the Territory and what
he thinks about the influence of his
"emination," would, if bound in calf,
make good sized blank book.

In Ceur d'Alene.

Our neighbors in the north are siren
uously endeavoring to work up a boom
for the Ceur d'Alene country. An
Idaho exchange of recent date says
There was sight in Buckskin Gulch
yesterday that would have made the
oldest placer miners heart leap
with Joy. The surface gravel had been
washed off and the large cut in the
jagged bedrock for over 100 feet was a
mass of glittering gold. In places
where it had lodged IN the crevices it
could be picked up by the spoonful.
About pint of nuggets, from $40 to $50
in weight, were picked up in the fore
noon by Charles Dudley, and about
twenty pounds of gold had already been
taken to the bank, which had been
scooped out of the port holes. No very
large pieces had been found; the largest
would probably not go over three
ounces The clean up, which will prob
ably take two or three days yet to com
plete, will be by far the largest ever
made in the camp. 1t is estimated to
reach fifty pounds, or in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. Probably after while
people will begin to believe there is gold
in Ceur d'Alene. Superintendent
Coulter was wreathed in smiles yester-
day, and he has good cause to feel
elated, for he is wringing liberal riches
from the gravel beds.

YESTERDAY MORNINGS FIRE.
The False Alarm and the Real Con,
tlagratiOn.

THE HERALD stated yesterday morn
ing that the fire alarm rang out shortly
after O. o'clock, for fire next door to
the Seventeenth Ward schoolhouse. The
information then received warranted
that statement. The alarm was sent in
by an individual at the Home Bakery,
in the Sixteenth Ward, who saw the
glare from the fire to the east and i'm
agined that confagration was rag
ing in the vicinity of the Seventeenth
Ward schoolhouse. The consequence
was, the fire brigade posted off to that
locality to find that there was no need
OF their services.
The real fire was burning at the cor
ner of South Temple and U streets, and
the illumination caused by it incor-
rectly located the blaze when we stated
it was reported to be near Mr.. TeasdePs
residence.
Chief Ottinger saw the light of the
fire from his residence and ran east
ward to the TWenty-frst Ward School
house and there in a hollow lost sight
of it, and concluded that the burning
property was in the Seventeenth
Ward, after all, and he ran b OK, and
when he reached the DeSeret NeaUS
corner, dripping with perspiration, he
met the fremen returning from the
Seventeenth Ward. He then ran down
to the hall, jumped in his buggy and
drove up to the scene of the fire named,
and with the force there on hand
began the work of saving the out
houses and dwelling untouched by the
devouring element.
The building destroyed was barn
belonging to Mrs. Radcliffe, a widow,
and was valued at about $500; the con-
tents at about 500, including dog,
which was burned to death The place
had been left in charge of a man who
was absent in American Fork. 1t could
not be learned yesterday whether there
was any insurance on the property or
not.

a Bad Fire at the Camas No. 2.

Word reached the city yesterday
afternoon that the hosting works at
the Camas No. 2 mine were burned. The
fire occurred early in the morning, and
resulted in a total loss of the property
with the possible exception of the boiler
and engine. The latter is badly injured.
The loss is in the neighborhood of So 600.
which IS partially covered 0y an insur-
ance of $500.
There is suspicion that it is the work
of an incendiary, as there had been no
fire in the building since the forenoon
of the previous day. Everything seemed
all right at o'clock on the morning OF
the fire, when the nightwatchman made
his rounds at the mine. The pumps
will soon be started up again.-Intsr-

City, WIS curious to know how many
people there were in the town, and re-
solved to ask the information of the
first person he encountered, and this

Of this placer"
"What?" replied the boy, puzzled by
the word population.
whats the population of this

The word got away with the boy for
moment, but only for moment, and
the dull stare of ignorance made way
for the animated flush of knowledge, as
he replied:

Thackrah's Instantaneous Index


Mr.. George Thackrah, the well known
expert accountant. has just copyrighted
an index which is q pronounced "per-
lection at last" and which is certainly
the best thing of the kind we have ever
seen. The ordinary index is so lacking
in arrangement that it should be in
dexed to enable the searcher to find the
name he searches for. Mr.. Thackrah's
index needs only to be examined to be
appreciated by accountants, the prin-
cipIe of the arrangement being "Glance
verses Search" The gentleman is to
be complimented on having produced
work which is destined to at once attain
popularity, and we hope it will win him
wealth as well. He is arranging for the
publication of the work in various
styles and at different prices.
